Definitions

  • This invention concerns a superheated steam generator which employs incinerating municipal garbage or industrial waste, and produces superheated steam with the heat energy from such an incineration.
  • the superheated steam produced by this apparatus might, for example, be used for an electric power plant.
  • the heat energy of the incineration can also be used to melt the ash resulting from incineration so that it can be used again as a resource.
  • apparatuses to incinerate waste such as municipal garbage have frequently employed fluidized beds.
  • Such apparatuses blow air or the exhaust gas from incineration into the fluidized bed medium, which may be sand, from below a dispersion plate (e.g., a perforated plate) in the furnace onto which the sand is supplied.
  • the material is heated and thereby fluidized. Waste such as municipal garbage is fed into the fluidized bed formed in this way and combusted.
  • the gases generated by this incineration are exhausted through a discharge line and enter a boiler.
  • steam is produced through thermal contact with heated water.
  • the steam is used as the drive source for a turbine in an electrical plant.
  • Organic compounds such as vinyl chloride plastics are a component of waste material such as municipal garbage.
  • the combustible portion contains approximately 0.2-0.5% Cl.
  • chlorides contained in the vinyl chloride plastics mixed in with waste material such as municipal garbage are converted to HCl.
  • HCl Normally, the HCl content of the exhaust gas from the incineration of garbage is in the range of 500-1,000 ppm.
  • This HCl acts on the tubes in the boiler used to produce steam which is placed at the exit of the incinerator and corrodes them. At temperatures above 350°C, as the surface temperature of the tubes increases, the corrosion becomes extremely serious.
  • the object of this invention is to provide a method and an apparatus to efficiently produce superheated steam at high temperatures and under high pressure without the corrosion of the boiler tubes caused by chlorine compounds.
  • Another object of this invention to provide a method and an apparatus to produce superheated steam which can efficiently reduce the chlorine and produce superheated steam at high temperatures without using an expensive, high-quality substance for the boiler tubes.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a method and an apparatus to produce superheated steam which could efficiently combust char and pyrolyze it in apparatuses for those purposes, and which can efficiently reduce the chlorine and produce superheated steam at high temperatures.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a method and an apparatus to produce superheated steam which can efficiently combust mixtures containing char.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a method and an apparatus to produce superheated steam which can efficiently pyrolyze char in a char pyrolyzing device, prevent tars from adhering to the pipes, prevent coking, and reduce the quantity of dioxins and NOx released, while efficiently reducing the chlorine and producing superheated steam at high temperatures.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a method and an apparatus to produce superheated steam which can continue generating steam in a stable fashion over a long period of time, and which can use the pyrolysis gases more efficiently.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a method and an apparatus to produce superheated steam which can melt ash separated from the pyrolysis or combustion gases in order to form an aggregate or some similar substance.
  • the water in the boiler is pressurized to such a degree that its boiling point is in the range of 200°C to 320°C. This water is heated in at least two stages.
  • the water is heated with thermal energy from gases containing chlorine.
  • the water After it reaches its boiling point, the water is heated to obtain superheated steam of a specified temperature with thermal energy from gases from which chlorides have been removed.
  • pressure is used to set the boiling point of the water to somewhere between 200°C and 320°C.
  • this variation can be used to absorb the latent heat of the water. (In other words, it is used only to change the water from liquid to steam, but not to raise its temperature.)
  • the surface temperature of the heat-exchange tubes in the boiler does not exceed the point at which chlorine corrosion begins. With this design, then, the temperature of the water or the steam can be increased in a stable fashion.
  • the garbage is heated by means of the chlorine-containing energy source as follows. Waste is supplied into a chamber containing a fluidized bed medium which has been heated to at least approximately 300°C. Thermal energy is freed by combusting the pyrolysis gases obtained in the pyrolysis means (pyrolysis furnace) which induces the pyrolytic reaction. This energy is used to heat the water.
  • the mixture of char which consists of the unpyrolyzed residue, and sand removed from the pyrolysis furnace is fluidized by air, and the unpyrolyzed residue is combusted by the char combustion furnace. The thermal energy freed in this way is used further to heat the water.
  • the apparatus which realizes the invention described above primarily comprises the following components:
  • auxiliary char combustion means to combust char somewhere along the circulation path used by the fluidized bed medium heated by the char combustion means to combust char, and preferably on the path along which the fluidized bed medium travels to return to the pyrolysis means.
  • a heat exchanger should be provided in the combustion medium in the auxiliary char combustion means to raise the temperature of the steam heated by the heat exchange means arranged on the high-temperature side of either the first or the second steam generating means or of the char combustion means.
  • the first filtering means must at least have larger openings than the second filtering means. More specifically, the first filtering means should have openings approximately 5 mm larger than the scraps of waste which are loaded, and the second filtering means should have openings approximately 2 mm larger than the maximum diameter (approximately 1.0 mm) of the fluidized bed medium.
  • the third filtering means should have openings approximately 0.1 mm smaller than the minimum diameter of the fluidized bed medium. Vibrating screens may be used in the filtering means.
  • the char mixture separated by the pyrolysis means contains essentially no chlorides. Thus no high-temperature corrosion will occur when this mixture is used as a heat source by the second steam generating means in order to produce superheated steam with a temperature over 500°C.
  • the exhaust gas from combusting pyrolysis gases containing chlorides is used as a heat source in the first steam generating means; however, this heat source is used only to produce hot water or steam below 400°C, more specifically, no hotter than about 200°C to 320°C.
  • the water then, is not heated to the point at which high-temperature corrosion occurs. There is no danger of corrosion in the boiler tubes, and expensive, high-quality materials are not required.
  • a portion of the steam heated by either the first or second steam generating means or a portion of the hot water or steam conducted into either of the steam generating means may, at the user's discretion, be conducted into a heat exchanger (hereafter called the first heat exchange means) arranged in the high temperature region of the char combustion means.
  • the first heat exchange means arranged in the high temperature region of the char combustion means.
  • the char combustion means the char mixture is fluidized by means of air and the unpyrolyzed residue is combusted.
  • the combustion gases reach temperatures which are quite high, specifically, in the range of 700°C to 950°C.
  • the thermal energy of these gases can be used to exchange heat with a portion of the steam heated by either the first or the second steam generating means, or with a portion of the hot water or steam led into either of the generating means. This will achieve the action shortly to be described.
  • the hot water fed to the first steam generating means is conducted into the heat exchange means so that its temperature is raised somewhat.
  • the hot water or steam fed to the second steam generating means can be conducted in parallel into the heat exchange means, just as with the first steam generating means. In this way the heating capacity of the second steam generating means can be boosted, so that a larger quantity of superheated steam can be produced.
  • the high-temperature region of the char combustion means reaches temperatures in the range of 800-950°C.
  • the superheated steam produced in the second steam generation means is fed into the heat exchange means, its temperature can be boosted to 400°C to 520°C, yielding an even hotter steam.
  • the first and second steam generating means and the first heat exchange means can be used sequentially or in parallel to heat the boiler water in multiple stages. This arrangement will yield a large quantity of superheated steam.
  • the high-temperature region of the char combustion means would reach temperatures in the range of 950-1,300°C. If the char were allowed to flow untreated into a discharge line made of common refractory materials, the line would not be able to sustain withstand the heat. Installing a heat exchange means in the high-temperature region lowers its temperature to 800-950°C and allows common refractory materials to be used for the discharge line. Lowering the temperature of the region to 800-950°C as described above does not affect the ability of the second steam generating means to maintain the temperature of the steam at 400-520°C.
  • the fluidized bed medium heated by the char combustion means also attains a high temperature.
  • the thermal energy of this heated fluidized bed medium can be used if an auxiliary char combustion means is installed on the path along which the fluidized bed medium heated by the first char combustion means circulates.
  • a heat exchange means can be provided in the fluidized bed medium in this auxiliary combustion means on the side of either the first or the second steam generating means.
  • heat exchange means can be installed in series or in parallel in the first and second steam generating means to achieve multistage heating. This arrangement will increase the thermal capacity of the fluidized bed medium so that the water can attain a stable high temperature through thermal contact with the fluidized bed medium.
  • the fluidized bed medium in the char combustion means is recirculated to the pyrolysis means.
  • the temperature of the fluidized bed medium in the char combustion means is approximately 700-850°C, while that of the fluidized bed medium in the pyrolysis means is 350-500°C. If the considerably hotter fluidized bed medium from the char combustion means is introduced directly into the pyrolysis means, the temperature within that pyrolysis means will have local spikes due to the differential and the temperature may fluctuate. Controlling the volume of the fluidized bed medium which is to be recirculated is thus an extremely complex problem.
  • an auxiliary char combustion means equipped with a thermal mitigation means such as a heat exchange means to mitigate thermal drop can be placed on the path along which the fluidized bed medium heated in the char combustion means travels on its return to the pyrolysis means.
  • the temperature of the fluidized bed medium which has been heated to 700-850°C in the char combustion means, is lowered by the heat exchange means in the auxiliary char combustion means to 500-700°C.
  • this fluidized bed medium now at 500-700°C, is returned to the pyrolysis means, a gentle thermal slope results.
  • the temperature in the pyrolysis means can be kept stable in the range of 350°C to 500°C.
  • the waste fed into the pyrolysis means is generally in scraps approximately 200 mm in diameter.
  • the discharge port for uncombusted materials in the fluidized bed furnace which serves as the pyrolysis means must have a diameter slightly larger than 200 mm. Consequently, some of the char residue and sand or other fluidized bed medium will also be removed through the discharge port.
  • the material exiting through the discharge port need only be separated by the second filtering means into finer uncombusted material and fluidized bed medium.
  • the fluidized bed medium separated by this filtering means can be supplied to the bottom of the combustion means so that instead of being lost it can be circulated and used again.
  • the third filtering means is not absolutely necessary. However, it can catch the sand not caught by the second filtering means while allowing only the ash to pass to the exterior. Use of a third filtering means makes it easier to remove the ash efficiently and recover the sand.
  • the char mixture comprising unpyrolyzed residue and fluidized bed medium is supplied (i.e., returned) from the pyrolysis means to the char combustion means; the hot fluidized bed medium is returned from the combustion means back to the pyrolysis means.
  • the temperature within the pyrolysis means is 350-500°C; that within the char combustion means is 700-850°C. Given this temperature differential, circulating a fluidized bed medium with a high thermal capacity from one means to the other and then back again will cause the temperature in both means to fluctuate with the volume of fluidized bed medium circulated. As a result, incomplete pyrolysis may occur in the pyrolysis means and incomplete combustion may occur in the combustion means.
  • the water in the boiler is heated to approximately its boiling point using the thermal energy of gases containing chlorine compounds obtained from the pyrolysis means, and it is heated from its boiling point until it is superheated steam of a given temperature using the thermal energy of dechlorinated gases obtained from the char combustion means.
  • the calorie ratio of the thermal energy of the pyrolysis gases obtained from the pyrolysis means vs. the thermal energy of the dechlorinated gases obtained from the char combustion means should be set at 7:3. However, because of backflow of the fluidized bed medium as discussed above, the calorie ratio cannot be maintained.
  • a backflow preventive means to prevent backflow of char or fluidized bed medium is provided either along the path traveled by the char between the pyrolysis means and the combustion means or, alternatively, in the pyrolysis means and/or in the combustion means.
  • This backflow preventive means may be a device which creates a pressure differential, or it may be a mechanical conveyor.
  • the backflow preventive means might, for example, comprise at least one device to create a pressure differential in the combustion means which returns the fluidized bed medium to the pyrolysis means.
  • the device should create a pressure differential larger than the differential (P 1 -P 2 ) between the pressure P 1 in the pyrolysis means and the pressure P 2 in the char combustion means.
  • the backflow preventive means would be to use a mechanical conveyor to feed the char by force to either the pyrolysis means or the char combustion means.
  • the path from the entry port of the mechanical conveyor to its discharge port should be slanted upward to create a gravity differential.
  • a thermal mitigation means to mitigate thermal drop such as a heat exchanging means should be provided on the path traveled by the heated fluidized bed medium as it returns from the char combustion means to the pyrolysis means.
  • a heat exchanging means should be provided in the auxiliary char combustion means, and a backflow preventive means to prevent backflow as described above should be provided at the discharge port of the means in which the heat exchanging means is installed.
  • a backflow preventive means to prevent backflow of either char or fluidized bed medium is provided between the pyrolysis and char combustion means so that fluidized bed medium with a temperature differential as described above and a large thermal capacity cannot accidentally flow back to either of the fluidizing tanks.
  • This design will prevent backflow from causing temperature fluctuations or adversely affecting the conditions required for pyrolysis and combustion in either tank.
  • the flowing action which is the objective in both the pyrolysis means and the char combustion means is made to occur smoothly by this design.
  • the desired calorie ratio of the thermal energy of the pyrolysis gases obtained in the pyrolysis means vs. that of the chlorine-free combustion gases obtained in the char combustion means (the chlorine-free thermal energy) can be achieved without variation, and there will be no chlorides mixed in with the char combustion gases.
  • a pressure differential generating means is provided to generate a pressure differential (H) which is greater than the differential (P 1 - P 2 ) between the pressure P 1 in the pyrolysis means and the pressure P 2 in the char combustion means.
  • the char combustion means is also disclosed as follows.
  • the air flow In the combustion means, either the air supplied from below the dispersion plate (hereafter called the air flow) is divided into two streams or the interior of the said fluidized bed is divided by a partition panel.
  • a supply port which delivers the mixture of char from the pyrolysis means is located in either the downward-flowing region of the fluidized bed or the lower portion of the upward-flowing region.
  • the circulation means may comprises a number of units to assure that the material circulates all around the fluidized bed, or it may comprise a device which divides the air flow supplied from below the dispersion plate into multiple streams.
  • the multiple air streams may be used to control the volume of air so that the char mixture circulates in the fluidized bed, or both systems may be used in tandem.
  • the char combustion means operates as follows.
  • the supply port for the char mixture from the pyrolysis means is located in the downward flowing region of the fluidized bed.
  • the char which floats to the surface of the fluidized bed is also returned by way of the downward flowing region and transported to the bottom of the fluidized bed. This increases the effect discussed above.
  • air is introduced into the upper space of the fluidized bed furnace constituting the pyrolysis means in a process which may entail a single stage or multiple stages. This prevents temperature drops in the discharge line. Since it also prevents extreme temperature spikes, this design prevents tarring and coking and enables the system to operate in a stable fashion.
  • air may be introduced into the pyrolysis gases after they have undergone primary combustion, and the reduced pyrolysis gases may be burned to decrease the volume of NOx generated.
  • the middle space between the upper and lower spaces of the furnace is narrowed to promote the mixture of air into the gases and to prevent the backflow of the radiant heat.
  • the fluidised bed should have two parts: a primary fluidized bed, in which the sand or other fluidized bed medium is fluidized by blowing air or the exhaust gas of combustion from beneath the dispersion plate on which the material is supplied; and a conveyor means to convey the waste material.
  • the walls below the primary fluidized bed become wider, and a conveyor mean on the bottom of the chamber conveys the solid portion of the waste material from its entry port to the discharge port where the char mixture is removed.
  • the conveyor means functions as an auxiliary pyrolysis unit where uncombustible matter is conveyed by force toward the char residue while pyrolysis is induced. This insures that there is no material left among the uncombustible material which has never been pyrolyzed. All chlorides in the waste material are completely pyrolyzed, vaporized and removed.
  • the pyrolytic reaction should be sustained uniformly over a given period of time so that waste material does not end up being blown intact all the way to the discharge port for the char mixture.
  • the configuration described above allows the pyrolytic reaction to occur uniformly and for a sufficient period of time for any chlorides in the waste material to be fully pyrolyzed, vaporized and removed.
  • an ash sludge separation means is provided between the pyrolysis means and the first steam generating means to extract the sludge from the ash.
  • This ash sludge separation means extracts the sludge from the ash which was separated from the gases forced out of either the char combustion means or the pyrolysis means by the heat of the primary combustion of the pyrolysis gases.
  • a secondary pyrolysis gases combustion means could be provided to carry out secondary combustion of the pyrolysis gases from which the ash has been separated.
  • the ash sludge separated by the ash-sludge separating means may be used to form an aggregate after the gas is separated or while it is being separated
  • the pyrolysis gases can be used to induce secondary pyrolysis gas combustion.
  • the boiler or other device used as the first steam generating means can be installed inside the secondary pyrolysis gas combustion means. This will allow the boiler water to be heated more efficiently.
  • the ash contained in the pyrolysis gases and that contained in the combustion gases represents approximately ten percent of the waste material. Thus it is not absolutely necessary to use all the pyrolysis gases which supply the ash to melt the ash. In fact, this might result in the production of excess thermal energy.
  • a portion of the discharge line to supply the pyrolysis gases generated by this reaction to the secondary pyrolysis gas combustion means or to a heat exchanging means, can be narrowed, and a pressure vent can be provided where the narrow portion begins and ends to admit a small volume of air as needed.
  • differential pressure gages such as orifices must be installed along the route traveled by the pyrolysis gases ,and the volume of flow (or speed of flow) must be measured in order to control the flow of pyrolysis gases necessary to melt the ash, as discussed above.
  • differential pressure gauges such as orifices (narrow portions) must be provided along the discharge route from the pyrolysis means to measure the volume of flow.
  • some of the gases being discharged may contain tars. These tars will adhere to the narrowed portion or pressure taps (tiny pressure vents), making it difficult to measure the volume of flow.
  • an air ventilation means to input a small quantity of air is provided (the word “air” here means any kind of gases to support combustion) as needed at the pressure vents installed on both sides of the narrow portion.
  • air means any kind of gases to support combustion
  • This air causes the tars to combust so that they cannot adhere to the vents, allowing the pressure to be measured in a stable fashion.
  • This arrangement in which a portion of the pyrolysis gases obtained in the pyrolysis means are supplied to the entry port of the same means, means that combustible gases whose temperatures range from 350°C to 500°C are circulated and supplied to the pyrolysis means. Dilution of the pyrolysis gases with inert gases such as N 2 , CO 2 or H 2 O from the air or from the exhaust gases of combustion is kept to a minimum. Thus the heat value per unit volume is maximized, and it is easier to maintain the temperature in the ash-melting furnace and in the ash-sludge separation means.
  • the pyrolysis means is not limited to a fluidized bed. It can instead comprise a pyrolysis kiln capable of agitating the solid matter in the pyrolysis means as it is mechanically conveyed from the entry port for waste material to the discharge port for the char mixture.
  • the pyrolysis means is not a fluidized bed, but comprises a mechanical conveyor/agitator, the duration and volume of pyrolysis can be controlled, so the pyrolysis is more stable than in a fluidized bed.
  • An important effect of using a mechanical conveyor is that it does not require the gases needed to fluidize a fluidized bed (primarily inert gases whose main components are N 2 , CO 2 and H 2 O).
  • the pyrolysis gases are not diluted, so the heat value per unit volume is greater.
  • Temperatures in excess of 1,300°C can be generated easily by infusing air or oxygen-enriched air, and these temperatures can be used effectively as the energy source to melt the ash in the gases, as will be described shortly.
  • combustion gases are exhausted from the char combustion means with their ash content, it is advisable that they be separated in a cyclone or the like before being conducted to the superheater, boiler, or other steam generating means.
  • the ash which has been separated from the gases can be melted and granulated so that it can be used in an aggregate.
  • the ash can easily be melted by combusting it at a temperature greater than 1,300°C by the pyrolysis gases.
  • the ash contained in the pyrolysis gases and that contained in the combustion gases represents approximately ten percent of the waste material.
  • the essential objective of the pyrolysis means is simply to remove the chlorine compounds from the garbage or other waste material and supply the dechlorinated char mixture to the char combustion means. There is thus no actual need to generate extreme heat, and the temperatures in the range of 250°C to 450°C will suffice. However, a temperature of about 1,300°C is needed to melt the ash in the ash-melting furnace. For this reason, the pyrolysis gases which are to be used in the ash-melting furnace need to be hotter. Ideally, pyrolysis should be induced at 450°C to 700°C not only to dechlorinate the gases, but to generate a large volume of gases.
  • the pyrolysis means may comprise a plurality of pyrolysis furnaces having a combination of a fluidized bed and a mechanical agitation tank in an appropriate fashion.
  • One of these pyrolysis furnaces may induce pyrolysis at a different temperature than the others.
  • a low-temperature pyrolysis furnace may be set at 250-450°C to generate dechlorinated char mixture.
  • a high-temperature furnace may be set at 450-700°C to generate pyrolysis gases to be used in the ash-melting furnace.

  • the partition panels lengthen the course traveled by the garbage and fluidized bed medium as they are mixed together and drawn toward discharge line 9. This arrangement insures that raw garbage will never arrive at discharge line 9.
  • Pyrolysis can be executed uniformly and over a specified period of time. Because a uniform pyrolytic reaction can be induced which occurs for a sufficient period of time, the chlorine compounds in the garbage can in effect be completely pyrolyzed, gasified and removed.
  • FIG 11 shows an improved version of the pyrolysis furnace employed in each of the embodiments discussed above.
  • This pyrolysis furnace has an integral pyrolysis gas combustion furnace which comprises a combustion chamber.

  • the neck could also have a narrow outlet, or, as shown in (B), it could be a narrow cylinder with a pair of air inlets 21 diagonally opposite each other to create a rotary air flow.
  • the pyrolysis gases generated in pyrolysis furnace 1 are conducted through neck 411 into combustion chamber 40.
  • the air introduced through line 21 and propelled by nozzles 42 causes primary combustion of the pyrolysis gases to occur in a reductive atmosphere (with an excess coefficient of 0.6 to 0.8) so that the NOx content is reduced.
  • Air is introduced into the upper chamber via inlet 43 to induce secondary combustion.
  • the pyrolysis gases should be completely combusted to minimize the CO and dioxin content.
  • Providing a neck 411 between the combustion chamber 40 and pyrolysis furnace 1 facilitates the mixing of air into the gases. In addition, it prevents the heat from the secondary combustion in chamber 40 from radiating into the space occupied by the fluidized bed below it. This prevents the char from combusting so that the desired conditions of pyrolysis can be achieved in furnace 1.

  • the combustion exhaust gases supplied via inlet lines 6 and 6' raise the temperature of the fluidized bed in pyrolysis furnace 1 (first pyrolysis furnace) to between 250°C and 450°C, inducing a pyrolytic reaction of the waste material and actively generating a char mixture.
  • This mixture is supplied via discharge line 9 to char combustion furnace 10.
  • the pyrolysis gases generated by this reaction are removed via discharge line 7 to pyrolysis gas combustion furnace 34.
  • Noncombustible material is removed from discharge line 8.
  • a pyrolytic reaction of the waste material is induced in a fluidized bed which has been brought to a temperature of 450°C to 700°C. This removes chlorine compounds and actively promotes the generation of pyrolysis gases, which are supplied via discharge line 7' to ash melting furnace 31.
  • the unpyrolyzed char mixture is removed to char combustion furnace 10 via discharge line 9'; the noncombustible material is removed via discharge line 8'.
  • the first pyrolysis furnace 1 is used to generate a large volume of dechlorinated char mixture, while the second pyrolysis furnace 1' generates only a small volume of char mixture but purposefully generates pyrolysis gases which can be used in ash melting furnace 31.
  • This division of functions enhances the efficiency with which both the char mixture and the pyrolysis gases can be generated.
  • pyrolysis furnace 1 serves only to dechlorinate the waste material, its fluidized bed can have a temperature range from 250°C to 450°C. This allows furnace 1 to generate a large volume of char mixture.
  • the gases introduced into ash melting furnace 31 have a temperature of 450°C to 700°C and have been fully pyrolyzed, so injecting even a small volume of oxygen-enriched air into furnace 31 will allow its temperature to be maintained at 1,300°C.
  • Figure 18 is a system diagram of an eleventh preferred embodiment of this invention, another apparatus for producing superheated steam using the heat from incinerating waste material.

  • the second furnace has a mechanical agitator to agitate the solids within the pyrolysis furnace while at the same time conveying them from the inlet for the waste material to the outlet for the char mixture.
  • This device to agitate and convey the waste material may be a rotary kiln or an agitation tank with a horizontal screw feeder.
  • furnace 1A When the pyrolysis furnace uses mechanical agitation, as furnace 1A does, there is no need for the fluidizing gas (an inert gas composed mainly of N 2 , CO 2 and H 2 O) required by a fluidized bed.
  • the pyrolysis gases are not diluted, so the caloric value per unit volume is higher.
  • air or oxygen-enriched air a temperature of 1,300°C can easily be generated. This can be used as an efficient energy source to melt the ash content of the gas.
  • the mechanical agitation furnace is preferable to a fluidized bed furnace such as furnace 1.
  • the low-temperature pyrolysis for producing char mixture uses a fluidized bed
  • the high-temperature pyrolysis furnace 1' for producing high-calorie pyrolysis gases uses a mechanical agitator.
  • furnace 1' If a mechanical pyrolysis furnace is used in furnace 1', a temperature of 1,300°C can be maintained in ash melting furnace 31 even without enriching the air fed into the furnace with oxygen.
  • a portion of the pyrolysis gases obtained from the other pyrolysis furnace 1' is supplied via branch line 7' on the upstream side of ash melting furnace 31 to pyrolysis gas combustion furnace 34. Since the ash content of the pyrolysis or combustion gases will be approximately 10% of the waste material. There is, therefore, no need to use all the pyrolysis gases supplied for melting the ash. Having a branch line for a portion of the pyrolysis gases prevents the ash melting furnace from wasting the excess heat energy.
  • differential pressure gauge 100 shown in Figure 14, should be installed either on the upstream side of ash melting furnace 31, to which the discharge line 7' branches, or on line 7' itself in order to adjust the volume of flow.
  • the present invention improves the efficiency with which noncombustible materials are removed and fluidized bed medium is separated in a pyrolysis means for pyrolyzing waste material (pyrolysis furnace) and a char combusting means for combusting char (char combustion furnace) which enable stable pyrolysis and combustion. More specifically, this invention prevents the boiler pipes from being corroded by chlorine compounds without requiring the use of expensive, high-quality materials. It enables the collection of a larger volume of high-temperature, high-pressure steam of approximately 500°C x 100 kg/cm 2 . This results in a generating efficiency of at least 30%. This enables removal of noncombustible materials and the fluidized bed medium in the pyrolysis means for waste materials and the char combustion means. Pyrolysis and char combustion can be accomplished in a more stable fashion.
  • the present invention provides partition panel to prevent backflow of char, fluidized bed medium or gases between the pyrolysis device and the char combustion device.
  • the fluidized bed medium with its temperature differential and a higher caloric value, cannot accidentally flow backward between the two chambers. This prevents backflow from causing temperature fluctuations or adversely affecting the conditions required for pyrolysis or combustion in either vessel.
  • Both the pyrolysis means to pyrolyze waste material and the char combustion means achieve the smooth fluidizing action which is the objective of their designs.
  • pyrolysis is carried out efficiently in the pyrolysis device. Tar buildup and coking due to the pyrolysis gases are prevented, and concentrations of dioxin, CO and NOx are minimized. The chlorine content is reduced more efficiently than in the prior art, and more superheated steam is produced.
  • the ash separated from the pyrolysis gases or combustion gases can be melted to produce aggregate or the like.
  • the pyrolysis means is not a fluidized bed, but a mechanical agitation means for mechanically agitating and conveying the waste material.
  • This design allows the duration of pyrolysis and the volume of material pyrolyzed to be controlled more closely than does a fluidized bed, resulting in a more stable pyrolytic reaction. And because the pyrolysis gases are not diluted by a fluidized bed carrier gas, the caloric value per unit volume is higher.
  • the pyrolysis means comprises a number of pyrolysis furnaces which are an appropriate combination of fluidised beds and mechanical agitation tanks. If there are two pyrolysis furnaces, each can be set at a different temperature of pyrolysis.
  • the low-temperature furnace can be set at 250°C to 450°C to facilitate the production of dechlorinated char mixture.
  • the high-temperature furnace can be set at 450°C to 700°C to generate pyrolysis gases for use in the ash melting furnace.
